The Brighton Festival guest director, Michael Rosen, wants to compose atheme tune for Mr Enormo Biggins’s Great Fun Park. The Great Enormo isan amazing new theme park that allows its visitors to travel through time onfantastically fun rides. Michael needs your help to coax, cajole and bullythe orchestra into producing a great piece so you can win free tickets to thetheme park. As he jumps from the medieval to the jazz age, from the WildWest to intergalactic space, will the viola player get his solo? And who isthe soprano who keeps turning up unexpectedly?

The Great Enormo Song

At the Great Enormo your dreams become real

At the Great Enormo what’s real is a dream

We’ll take you to climb a castle in the air

We’ll take you where you’ll hear yourself scream…

A Grand, Grand Overture

Malcolm Arnold was a composer who, in his better moments, enjoyed lifeto the full; and he found a kindred spirit in the short-lived cartoonist,humorist and tuba player Gerard Hoffnung (1925–59). It was for the firstHoffnung Music Festival at the Royal Festival Hall in London, in November1956, that Arnold wrote A Grand, Grand Overture. Conducted by thecomposer, it was the opening item in a programme that also included aChopin mazurka played by a quartet of tubas, a concerto performed bythe great horn player Dennis Brain on a garden hosepipe, FranzReizenstein’s Concerto popolare for pianist versus orchestra, the slowmovement of Haydn’s ‘Surprise’ Symphony with extra surprises, and muchelse besides.

A Grand, Grand Overture (op. 57) is scored for a standard symphonyorchestra augmented by organ (the part was first played by Dennis Brain),four rifles and a quartet of three vacuum cleaners and a floor polisher —originally pitched, as Arnold’s checks with a tuning-fork in the Hoovershowrooms had established, in B flat and G. The cleaning quartet and therifles make their first appearance in the expectant introduction; the cleanersreturn to accompany two (necessarily quiet) statements of the work’smemorable ‘big tune’, and again towards the end, until the intervention ofthe rifles.

The title of the piece is a variation on the customary name of ‘GrandOverture’ given to symphonies in the 18th century. It is justified mostobviously by the coda, a sustained assertion of ‘the C major of this life’,and indeed of the next — and possibly even of the one after that.

The Firebird, suite(1919 version)

IntroductionThe Firebird’s DanceThe Princesses’ KhorovodInfernal Dance of King KashcheyBerceuseFinale

As Debussy said to the young Stravinsky, after hearing The Firebird, ‘Well,you have to start somewhere’. Thus Stravinsky burst into Paris and history. Forall its dry wit, the comment was apropos. Stravinsky, who was 28 when TheFirebird had its first performance, had already written a good deal of music,including an amiable symphony (his official op. 1) and a couple of morestriking orchestral pieces, but in many respects this was indeed where hebegan. It was the first of his works to be performed outside Russia, and thefirst that was generally available until he started to revive his very earlycompositions relatively late in his long life.

Also — like the imperial Russia in which The Firebird was written and whoserichly varied musical culture it commemorated — it was a place from which tomove on. Its splendour is that of an arrival: here is Stravinsky, in all hisbrilliance, his cut and thrust. But that splendour also takes the form of afarewell, to the late Romantic Russia in which Stravinsky had been raised as apupil of Rimsky-Korsakov (whose later music, still very recent, was a potentinfluence). The firebird — or phoenix, born from flames, a symbol ofregeneration — was altogether a fitting subject. Rimsky is there in the fire andthe feathers, the highly chromatic harmony and the sumptuous orchestration.But the figure wearing his musical clothes, and moving with a quickened,edgier pulse, is Stravinsky.

The Firebird, though, might never have happened. The impresario SergeDiaghilev had his own reasons for wanting to present himself under thebanner of rebirth: this was his second Ballets Russes season in Paris, and hewas determined to have a new work. (His 1909 season had been of balletsalready in the repertory of the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg or adaptedfrom it.) Michel Fokine, his company choreographer, was the obvious personto create the dance. But who should write the music? Diaghilev was certainly

Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)

aware of Stravinsky, who had contributed two arrangements for the conversionof the Mariinsky’s Chopiniana into Les sylphides for Paris in the first BalletsRusses season. But he seems to have gone first to Alexander Tcherepnin, then toAnatoly Lyadov, and only towards the end of 1909, with the opening night littlemore than six months away, to Stravinsky.

Stravinsky seized his opportunity, producing a 45-minute score of sensationalmagnificence. Fokine — with the help of Léon Bakst, who designed theFirebird’s vibrant costume — offered the Paris public a dazzling spectacle,featuring Fokine himself as the Tsarevich, his wife Vera Fokina as the Tsarevnaand Tamara Karsavina as the Firebird. But Debussy was by no means the onlyobserver to notice the music. Soon it leapt from the theatre pit. Before the yearwas out Stravinsky had created a concert suite, and it was in this form that hisfriends back in Russia were able to hear what all the fuss was about. Still,particularly after World War I, the music’s further progress was inhibited by thelavishness of its scoring, and so in February 1919 Stravinsky revised the suite,halving the number of woodwind players needed, streamlining the percussionand reducing the harps from three to one.

In this version, which we hear this evening, the ballet’s short orchestral prelude(featuring string harmonics in glissandos, an effect stolen from Ravel) is followed bythe dance with which the Firebird introduces herself, music of rippling chromaticscales and lustrous arabesques appropriate to a fantastic and flighty creature.

The next movement is a khorovod, or round dance, which the Tsarevich sees 13princesses dancing when he comes upon them in the enchanted garden of theogre Kashchey: the human characters all prove their Russian blood in musicbased on traditional dances and folksongs, very much in the tradition of Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. Then the final three movements present most of theballet’s close. In the Infernal Dance for Kashchey’s magicked andmetamorphosed subjects, stamping rhythms suggest the approach of The Rite ofSpring, which the composer was soon to begin. The Berceuse is a lullaby withwhich the Firebird charms the powers of evil to sleep, again in a distinctlyRussian tone. Lastly comes a scene of general rejoicing after the prince hassmashed the magic egg that had given Kashchey life: bell sounds, and thedeceleration of time into a swinging pattern, create the first of the composer’sconcluding apotheoses — a musical type that would echo through his outputand still be there 55 years later at the end of his Requiem Canticles. He had,indeed, made a start.
